Latin American digital financial services company, Bitso, has announced the integration of Tether (USDT) on the Solana Blockchain, which aims to enhance the speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of transactions, coupled with access to Solana’s decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
General manager of Bitso retail, Alex Mehrdad, believes that “the adoption of stablecoins is redefining how people use crypto, not just as an investment, but as a functional tool for payments, savings, and protection against inflation”.
According to the company’s own crypto landscape report, among Bitso clients for the first half of the year, stablecoins were Latin America’s most purchased crypto asset, accounting for 46 per cent of all transactions in the region, with USDT representing 23 per cent of purchases.
The integration also provides Bitso users the opportunity to access other DeFi protocols such as Jupiter, Raydium, and Orca for trading; Solend and MarginFi for lending and borrowing; as well as Jito and Kamino for staking and yield optimisation strategies.
